As part of MoMA’sDesign & Violence series, Christoph Niemann created this excellent series of animated gifs that change the tools of war into games by altering the original intent of their design. The series, entitled Commoditized Warfare, takes its name and influence from the work of Yosuke Ushigome, whose series of videos have also explored the idea of using sports over bloodshed when resolving international conflict.
